Default Pins for lower passenger door moulding

Does anyone know what pins I can use for the lower passenger door moulding on an 06 GS 300?

The dealer doesn't sell the pins separately and wants to sell me a $200 new moulding. I already fixed my old moulding and just need to reattach.

Anyone have any ideas on where I can buy the pins/clips to attach the lower door moulding? Can I use pins from another Lexus or Toyota model?

Are you talking about the door trim panel retainers like in the picture?


I recently replaced a bunch of mine, and went through the pain of researching part numbers, etc. The good news is that they are cheap, especially if you order them from a Toyota parts distributor. The 3GS uses three different sizes that are white, turquoise and green.

Use the diagram below to figure out which ones you need, and order them from your local dealer or just google the parts numbers. I found a Toyota parts place online and got them for a couple of bucks a piece. Identical parts were about 50% more from Lexus parts distributors, naturally.

Actually it's the external moulding. I can't use the existing pins because they break off when removed.

Anthony thoughts on where I can get pins. Matbe another model or toyota sells them separately

I was able to attach it by sliding on 2 existing pins and used double sided adhesive for the remainder.
Double sided adhesive, epoxy glue and a little elbow grease saves $300.

I believe I have found the clip...

Ebay search word is "GM Toyota Door Panel Moulding Clip White Nylon With Sealer" Linky ...... 20 for $7... or $100 for $18.

I only need 7 so I order the 20. Dam this thing is hard to find. BTW, Lexus don't really have it either. It come with the moulding.
